very easy.

you have frmCaller and frmModal
(just 2 names).
on frmCaller button click or something do:

frmCaller.Show vbModal, frmModal.

you can also might wanna use InputBox which is simple for small modal forms.

hope it helps, itay.

thanx, but that's not quite what i'm lookin for. i want it to completely stop windows untill the user responds. just like the CTRL+ATL+DEL window.

You could make a loop that lags the computer
then loop until a key is pressed.
Hope this helps!

I was thinking.... You could also make a MsgBox that suspends the system!
Hehe you might like this :)
using
vbSystemModal: 4096

MsgBox "WooHaHaHa! Try to activate something else!!!", 4096,"I used a vbSystemModal on you!! =P"

or:

MsgBox "WooHaHaHa! Try to activate something else!!!", vbSystemModal,"I used a vbSystemModal on you!! =P"

Either way, hopefully this helps!!! :)
